A series of low-profile, SMT inductors in the 2525 package size has been announced by Vishay Intertechnology. Devices in the IHLP-2525AH-01 Series are specified for saturation currents up to 40A and offer typical DCR values as low as 3 mΩ in a package measuring 1.8 mm high. Devices in this series are appropriate for DC/DC converter and energy storage applications in end products including computers, servers, telecom and automotive electronics, as well as in high-current power supplies and point of load (POL) converters, distributed power systems and field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). In addition to their 1.8 mm height, the inductors measure 6.47 mm × 6.86 mm (0.255″× 0.270″). The series’ saturation current ranges from 8A to 40A, and typical DCR values range from 3 mΩ to 76.6 mΩ over a standard inductance range of 0.1µH to 4.7 µH, with a tolerance of ±20 percent. At full rated current, IHLP inductors feature an inductance drop of 20 percent. These inductors handle high transient current spikes without saturation and operate over a frequency range up to 5 MHz. Packaged in a 100 percent lead (Pb)-free, shielded, composite construction that reduces noise buzz to low levels, these devices are specified for an operating temperature range of 55°C to 125°C with high resistance to thermal shock, moisture, mechanical shock and vibration. Pricing in 10,000-piece quantities starts at $0.82.
